Who is Grum Flameblade?
Grum Flameblade is a card from the chaos legion edition and belongs to the fire deck, its attack type is melee and its main function in battles will be as a tank card since it has a huge amount of life, shield and abilities that will get you help a lot in battles.

The fifth option is the LORE, in this option you will learn more about the origin of the Grum Flameblade card, I will leave his LORE at the end of the Post in case you are curious to read it.
Now let's go back to the STATS part of the card where it has the necessary information for you to understand how Grum Flameblade works in battle.
As a melee card, Grum Flameblade is only able to attack in the first position, the only exception is if there is a rule in battle that allows it to attack in another position, but its main focus will be as a tank card. His speed is extremely low at all levels and this makes him one of the last cards to attack in the round, but he can also become a powerful weapon if the battle has the Reverse Speed rule because in this rule the card with the lowest speed will attack first and that means that Grum Flameblade will be one of the first cards to attack.
In terms of attack, health and shield, Grum Flameblade is an extremely powerful card and will not be easy to defeat, especially with the help of its abilities that will be very useful in both attack and defense.
To better understand how Grum Flameblade's abilities work, I'll explain each one of them, namely Bloodlust, Void Armor, Void and Giant Killer.
Enable Level 1 (Bloodlust)
Bloodlust is an ability you usually only see on gladiator cards and Grum Flameblade is the first and only card currently that has it to play in ranked battles. The ability works in a very simple way, it will grant +1 of all STATS to the Grum Flameblade every time he defeats a card, remembering that it is only activated if the Grum Flameblade is the card that gives the last attack on the opposing card.
Enable Level 1 (Void Armor)
Void Armor is an ability that makes the shield effective against magic attacks since this type of attack will have to deal damage to the shield first instead of the card's health.
Enable Level 2 (Void)
Void is an ability that reduces the damage caused by magical attacks on the Grum Flameblade, this means that cards with a magical attack will cause less damage on the Grum, remembering that this damage reduction is only received by the Grum Flameblade.
Enable Level 3 (Giant Killer)
Giant Killer is an ability that makes Grum Flameblade deal double damage when it attacks a card that has 10 or more mana, so if you already find Grum Flameblade's attack devastating, imagine when it faces this type of card in a battle. battle.
These are Grum Flameblade's abilities and as you can see it's an incredibly strong card to have in battles and it's practically perfect for that, especially if your opponent has a lot of cards with magic attack.
I will also leave in this post the LORE of this incredible card in case you are curious to read it and remember that this is just my opinion about the card and not an investment tip.
LORE
Grum is known throughout his tribe as the strongest warrior. Born in the Sands of Draykh-Nahka, his hard upbringing made him a survivor. There was no weather too extreme, no drought too long, and no enemy too cunning for Grum. He became well-respected within the region for his battle prowess and defended his tribe countless times against the creatures of the wastes. Tales were sung around the fires of Grum's battle with the Great Wyrm of the Sands, the Earth-Shaking Titan, and Velissa the Sorceress. Grum's tribe, known as the Desert Blood, honored tradition, strength, and courage. He grew to become a legend amongst his people.
One day, he felt the spirits of his ancestors calling to him. Going on a solitary journey into the wasteland, he connected with an ancient past. A ruin lay deep underneath the desert that housed powerful mana. That connection imbued him with magic, and he became able to summon fire on his great sword, making him more formidable than ever before.
Grum could have taken this gift and used it to defend his tribe, but instead, he became arrogant. Who could defeat a warrior with a blade of fire? He began traveling, seeking out any foe that pleased him and doing as he chose. Even in the often dangerous draconic lands of Draykh-Nahka, there were few who would cross Grum.
His path took him across the Chaos Legion. Grum battled their warriors, but found he could not overcome their collective might. Their magic, their tactics, and their motivations were strange to Grum. It was something he'd never come across before. Rather than surrender, Grum was impressed. He chose to join the Chaos Legion and use their might to find new foes to face.
Grum now serves in the front lines of battle for the Chaos Legion. While he is a leader of the fiercest warriors, Grum fights right alongside even the newest soldier. He prefers to be the first to break the lines of the enemy and bring their heads back as his trophies. His ferocity and burning blade earned him the name Grum Flameblade across the land.
